(1: 1)

        Mephisto is an outrageous theatrical event to sell his soul to the devil. The actor Hendrik Hofgen has one goal - to be loved by the audience. For it is he willing to do everything: flogging their ideals, betraying their friends and sell his soul. We follow his career in Nazi Germany - from simple provincial actor to head for the big theater in Berlin, from Socialist to Nazi collaborators. We go into the Hofgens deceitful world that is a powerful, sexy, violently and beautiful experience for the senses not to be missed.
